Kannur, April 07, 2022 (PPI-OT):Communist Party of India Marxist (CPI-M) General Secretary, Sitaram Yechury while calling for all secular democratic forces of India to come together and form a front against the Hindutva communalism being propounded by Bharatiya Janata Party has said that the sharpening of polarisation is RSS-BJP mainstay for political and electoral mobilization.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Sitaram Yechury made the comments while inaugurating the 23rd party Congress in Kannur, Kerela, which will concluded on Sunday (April 10). Yechury said, the party congress would deliberate upon how we proceed in this direction. He said, the CPI-M appeals to all secular democratic forces to come together in order to isolate and defeat BJP.
The communist party leader maintained that the RSS and BJP have succeeded in creating a narrative of an overarching Hindutva identity among the people. He said isolation of the RSS-BJP can be achieved only by undertaking sustained efforts in the political, ideological, cultural and social spheres. In order to defeat the BJP, he said, the broadest possible front of all secular forces must be forged against Hindutva communalism.
“Prevarications and compromising attitudes can only lead, as experience has shown, to an exodus from such parties towards the communal forces. Hindutva communalism can only be combated by championing uncompromising secularism,” the CPI-M leader pointed out.
Referring to the BJP-led Indian government, Yechury said all pillars of Constitution, secular democracy, federalism, social justice and economic sovereignty are under assault. To achieve the Hindutva agenda of the RSS, he said, the ruling BJP is undermining every independent organisation in the country. It is essential that the BJP be isolated to protect the people and safeguard the secular interest of India, he said.
The CPI-M general secretary also castigated the BJP-led Indian government for committing thorough mismanagement of the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, imposing unprecedented misery on the people, leading to loss of lives.
